Biology

Physiology

Mesprit is a small, gray, fairy-like Pokémon. It has two tails that each have a red jewel encrusted in them. These are, presumably, two of the jewels which comprise the Red Chain. Mesprit has a partially magenta face with four long, drooping appendages and another red gem encrusted in its forehead.

Gender differences

Special abilities

Mesprit's spirit can leave its body without dying. Its spirit can return to the body at will. According to legend, a person that touches it will have their emotions completely drained away. It was also shown in The Needs of the Three! and The Battle Finale of Legend! that Mesprit has the ability to teleport itself, as well as other Pokémon and humans.

Behavior

Mesprit is playful and a bit mischievous.

Habitat

Mesprit sleeps at the bottom of Lake Verity. Once it is encountered, it will run away and wander around Sinnoh; its current location can be tracked with the Marking Map Pokétch app, with Mesprit moving to a new (usually adjacent) location whenever the player enters a new area.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

On the Spear Pillar stage, occasionally the lake guardians make surprising "cameo" appearances during the fight; they do nothing, however.

Trophy Information

An Emotion Pokémon said to have taught humans emotions. Rumor is, if you touch Mesprit, you'll lose all emotions three days later. It sleeps at the base of Lake Verity, but once engaged in battle, it will rise from the water to fly around the Sinnoh region. Even if you see this Pokémon after your initial meeting, it'll try to flee battle, so catching it is quite a task.

Trivia

In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness, Mesprit is the only one of the lake trio to fight the main character in battle during the main story; despite being depicted as a calm and peaceful Pokémon, it was enraged by a previous attack on its counterpart Uxie and quite fiercely attacked the hero and their partner.

Mesprit shares the same species name with Kirlia. They are both known as Emotion Pokémon.
